"From whisper to shout: Stop Violence!"

Violence spreads like wildfire,

A small desire becomes dire.

What others love we hate,

Yet, what they need we take.

In this journey we call life,

We make a bunch of strife.

Blind in deep slumber, darkness takes control

Never have thought of cleaning his own soul.

Drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, tv

Crimes everywhere for a sea of money,

Are these things what we really longed for?

To live a life of obnoxious thoughts?

Man abuse their children,

Leaving their hearts with burden.

Now things will never be the same,

They hid their face in shame.

What happened to peace and tranquility?

Why do we take advantage of the innocents' fragility?

Lives are wasted in these incessant wars,

Yet, we give less care in this world of ours.

'cause violence is a wildfire

But with us together, it could end.

Let's make a plea now, make a vow

To never be overcome by hatred.
